Live life like those last days of college..!!

Do you remember your last days of college life? I am sure we all remember our college life and we loved it so much and we still cherish it a lot, every single day of that life. But there is something very important about those last days of college.

During those last days we all tried to enjoy every single moment of college with our friends. We tried to avoid any kind of disputes and misunderstandings with others (may be because now we were sure that this all will end soon). We ignored bitter words by others and tried not to hurt others or get hurt. We only focused on living life to maximum. We would have lots of parties together. We would try to make every creative attempt in those last days which we had missed before by saying “ab nahi karenge to kab karenge.. phir to college life khatam ho jayegi” (if we don’t do it now, then when will we do it..college life is going to end soon). Those who were into sports would try and make some mark in cultural events as they wanted to experience how it feels on stage. The dramatics guys would make an attempt in sports. BECAUSE DURING THOSE LAST DAYS WINNING WAS NOT IMPORTANT, MORE IMPORTANT THING WAS THAT WE MADE AN ATTEMPT AND TRIED SOMETHING NEW. Nobody would make fun of your attempts even if you failed, as they knew “ab nahi karenge to kab karenge.. phir to college life khatam ho jayegi”. In fact they would laugh and celebrate together. Now they would enjoy together even failures too, as making an effort was more important (Competition turned into celebration and every participant was a winner now, in some way or the other). Everybody started appreciating and encouraging others. The studious one would go and tell the dramatics guys that you people had a great life here and enjoyed a lot.. We would also perform this time on farewell because “ab nahi karenge to kab karenge.. phir to college life khatam ho jayegi”.

Those who had gang wars (kind of..they liked this word for themselves) would try to be the best of friends now, they would praise each other and would talk good about each other and same old reason for this.. “ab dosti nahi karenge to kab karenge.. phir to college life khatam ho jayegi”. Everyone would try to be good and would focus on enjoying those last days of college because everyone knows that they might not meet again in future, they may not have same life again, so let’s LIVE IT!!

The same thing is in life, but it is much longer than those 4 years and that’s why we don’t realize that it would also end one day. We fight with each other, cheat on people, ignore our dreams, our health, our relationships because we feel that we will be here for very long time or may be forever. But we don’t realize that it could end any day, It could be even shorter than those last days of college life. That feeling “ab nahi karenge to kab karenge.. phir to college life khatam ho jayegi”, made us do lots of new creative things, it made us live and explore life to maximum. That very same feeling holds true in this real long life also. We just need to realize that this journey of life could end any moment, so let’s live it and celebrate it, let’s not postpone our dreams for tomorrow (which may never come .. aur phir ab nahi karenge to kab karenge). Let’s be good to others here also and let’s avoid and resolve any kind of disputes and differences with others like those college gangs. Let’s live and celebrate each moment of this uncertain life. Let’s not wait for tomorrow as that is the most uncertain thing here. We need to realize that the duration could be longer but this life is also a repeat of those 4 years only, we come here, interact with people, make friends, explore our interests, some become good students, some good actors, some good sports-persons, and there is so much to become. But this much longer life would also end one day.. So, let’s live it like those last days. Let’s live it without any fear of failure, let’s explore it and have some new attempts here and lets enjoy our failures too, lets laugh on our failure because most important thing was to make an effort for your dreams.. “ab nahi karenge to kab karenge.. phir to life bhi khatam ho jayegi”. Let’s live each day of life like it is our best day and could be our last day on earth. And remind ourselves each day that why should I cheat someone or hurt someone or postpone my dream, I may not be here tomorrow. Instead of criticizing each other lets appreciate and encourage each other, which shall make a better world.

Let’s live life like those last days of college!!
